It's all fun and games 'til the orangutan accidentally rips the dog's head off.

This is exactly why dogs are self-domesticated. If Satan rose from hell and stalked the earth, surrounded by demon hordes and flame-breathing dragons, after humanity was burned off the earth's surface each of these abominations would go home, open his door, and there would be an excited mutt wagging his tail and spinning ecstatic circles.

[snif] Very nice.
Although there's a little bit of "ohshit" in the dog's eyes during some of those clips. And they have cut each interaction to 10 sec or less of continuous video. They probably have hours of outtakes of dog trying desperately to avoid amorous orangutan.
